CLAWS says NO to Diablo

Committees for Land, Air, Water and Species (CLAWS) signed on to the letter sent by Jane Swanson of Mothers for Peace, along with 66 other groups, to reiterate that the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant must be closed, on schedule and as planned. It's overdue and seriously unsafe. 

We were delighted to see the media release sent by Mothers for Peace get picked up, with features in the New York Times as well as Associated Press. Here's the news:

67 Organizations Push Back

Against Efforts to Extend Operation

of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant 

In response to Governor Newsom’s suggestion to extend the operating life of Diablo Canyon nuclear facility beyond its planned closure dates of 2024 and 2025, 67 organizations from across the country sent him a letter of protest on May 17, 2022.

Jane Swanson of Mothers for Peace states, “There is nothing smart about continuing to operate Diablo Canyon beyond its current licenses. It is old, dirty, dangerous, and expensive! Let’s invest California’s surplus money in clean and safe energy resources, conservation, and efficiency.”
